COMBINED HEAT AND POWER ON BROWNFIELD SITES

Future Energy Development, in partnership with the Pace Energy and Climate Center and the Northeast Midwest Institute, was recently awarded a NYSERDA grant to educate brownfield developers of the benefits of Combined Heat and Power systems for commercial and industrial applications. Combined Heat and Power systems capture the heat energy that is usually wasted as part of an electrical power generating system to provide a heat source for buildings or industrial processes. The energy efficiency improvements, which are supported by federal and state incentives, lead to significant cost savings.
